I was stationed as a young platoon officer in Frankfurt, with the 3rd armored division. I used to ride all over Europe on my motorcycle every weekend. I'll never forget the feeling at many of the battle sites but especially Normandy. You can just feel that many lives were lost there...

Wood strip Canoes are generally in the water for less time and in more ideal conditions than a duck boat. Plus there is rarely an outboard used on a strip canoe so the stresses are significantly less. Lastly canoes are usually stored indoors. Our strip canoe was built with Wood glue 25 years...

My dog is a Giffon. a versatile pointing breed. He will always be more than 25 yards out in front of me...it's his job to be out front and find game. I do worry about adult birds making him shy but he has handled wild pheasants with spurs and still goes back for more. He's also handled...

What should you do if your pup chases a gosling in the water and retrieves it? He was out ahead of me on a path along the river just out of sight. I didn't know he had entered the water until I heard the mother goose calling loudly. When I came to the clearing I called for him but he had...

I would swear it is a butterfly sailboat hull that has been modified. The bow looks like a scow. Any clues as to dimensions?

I just came back from my Audiologist appointment where I had a mould taken for my custom ear plugs. I too am still deciding between a passive filter plug and the much more expensive electronic models. I currently have little hearing loss but the test they to do determine how well the...

Eddie I have not hunted in England but those I know who have speak of the wonderful specialist breeds that are used there. Here in the states and in much of central Europe we prize a versatile dog that will do it all well. The GSP that pointed dead would not have been any good to me whether we...

I will not go on about what great dogs the Griffon's are but if you want to know more you can shoot me a pm. He is never cold...and really does not mind sitting still in a blind. The best thing I like about Gus is that if he marks the bird down he will work independently. If he doesn't see...

I guess my question to the town would be. If I were to get hurt or need assistance, would the town provide assistance? Are they prepared to protect, defend an serve their constituents in a manner that would be reasonable on any other land in town? Are they ready to be sued over mishaps that...

You are correct. I don't know the lives of the individuals in Alabama. Just as you have no idea how watching James Carville yell that people are dying down there affects unemployed workers in Michigan or here in New Hampshire. This is my opinion thats all... This is the last I will post on this.

Sorry guys...guess I'm just tired. Been unemployed as a Director of Retail planning for a year now. Folks just stopped going to the mall so there are less of us needed. It paid very well and was what I have been doing for 15 years. So now I need to figure out something new to do. I'm...

http://www.natchezdemocrat.com/news/2010/jul/02/volunteers-left-out-gulf-oil-spill-cleanup/ Here is an article from the Natchez Democrat. So Dutch please don't simply say that "no" boats are being used in the clean up. BP took a risk and lost and is paying for it. The fishermen took a...

I agree! BP should pay for business losses. But this should be done just as it would be for any other business. If a truck spilled haz materials then I would recoup from their insurance and I would expect that it would be mediated by a judge if need be. The difference is that much of the...

I keep hearing this but then I also see 1000 boats being used by BP and the EPA. Aren't they being paid to skim? to move booms? Aren't there a bunch of jobs cleaning up that weren't there before? Aren't the restaurants and hotels filled with media and cleanup people? Haven't their already...

http://www.dobbsdogs.com/library/pointing/pdj01.html Jim Dobbs has a great site and several books on training with the e collar. The way he approaches works by teaching the dog how to turn off a very low level of stimulation. The dog ends up training himself instead of fearing he collar or...

Sorry...I meant to say Skulldugery not scaup. The river does not have an easy access point so I want something light weight that I can carry to the river and float and shoot.

I keep thinking that this would be an excellent build for me. Not for marshes as I will be using my dog for those spots. I can walk close enough in with waders and he will do all the running and swimming for downed birds. I'm looking for a boat to slowly move down a small river that often...

Nice bird, I'm surprised you can hunt in the evening. Here on the East Coast it's only 1/2 hour before sunrise until noon. Here's the bird I got on the 5th. Only 18 lbs but with a 10 inch beard and 7/8" spurs.

The original ad is below...11ft long but with only a 25" cockpit I'm just wondering if it will fit my 6'1" 210 lbs. I have my son's Barnaget Bay Sneak Boat for sale. It is 11 foot long, fiberglass over wood. I was told the original boat builder was from NJ. Do not know much else about the...

http://www.duckhuntingchat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=67858 This is located in New Hampshire and the ad says that the builder was from NJ. Hoping someone would be able to shed some light on this boat. I think I might pick it up, although the cockpit looks a little small for me and...
